Richard Hatch on VH1

Battlestar Galactica Club Forums member guide Kingfish reported on the recent Richard Hatch appearance on VH1: "I saw Richard Hatch last night on a show called 'Where are they now.' Battlestar Galactica isn't dead or buried. They showed some great Apollo clips. Anyone that says no one remembers Battlestar Galactica is full of felgercarb. They showed him doing the audio for the new game which is a prequel to TOS BG. This is straight from Hatch's mouth. Also they mentioned Great War of Magellan as a [possible] TV series." Many thanks to Kingfish for posting the report at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums.

Battlestar Galactica Theme for the Palm PDA

New report from Randy at the Battlestar Galactica Discussion List: "For those of you who are users of the Palm PDA, if you want to have the Battlestar Galactica theme as your alarm for your date book, check out the following program - GeekSounds 2.4. I downloaded it and tried it out, and it's not too bad. Nothing like having a little MIDI version of the song playing from your pocket to let you know you need to be at your next appointment."

Battlestar Galactica Marvel Comic #1

New report from Jan at the Apollo's Battlestar Galactica Discussion Group: "I got Battlestar Galactica (Marvel Comic) #1 online now. I only have 12 of the original 23 Marvel Comics so I won't be able to put all of them online and I don't have a index page yet. So I'm still working on it but if you want to look at the first comic you sure can. It is at the following link, then just jump from page to page there if you would like. I always wanted to do this. If you have any ideas about it please let me know. More is coming...".
